Description

I get messages like this:

(Cannot access the database: Cannot access the database: Unknown database 'metawiki' (81.4.127.157))

I'm not sure as to the cause, other than the possibility the database might need to be forcibly updated to fix some issues.

Not a database issue. 'metawiki' should not exist on db3, therefore this is a MediaWiki/extension issue more than likely.

Probably related to extensive usage of wfGetDB as opposed to wfGetLB.

Also fwiw wfGetLB is deprecated as of 1.27 even though we use it in managewiki. John said that he kept getting fatals trying to use MediaWikiServices::

@Arcane21 Just to be able to investigate the issue better, which pages exactly are you getting errors on?

John added a comment.May 14 2017, 18:00

Just changing preferences reproduces the issue for me.

Reception123 added a comment.May 14 2017, 18:06

Note: this issue can be reproduced on all wikis on db3

Investigation shows Echo is causing the issues.
